Kasamh Se goes the Aaina way!

Remember the Juhi Chawla-Jackie Shroff-Amrita Singh starrer Aaina? Kasamh Se seems to be following its footsteps. The similarities are endless. Firstly Pia elopes with Pushkar on the day of her marriage with Jai Walia. And in the film too, Amrita Singh runs away on her marriage day to achieve her aims (modeling). Juhi Chawal playing Amrita's sister gets married to Jackie and in the daily soap too Bani ties knot with Jai Walia. This is not it, now Pia comes back to Walia house as she doesn't get along with her husband and is trying to take Bani's place. Jai Walia certainly is in love with the docile Bani, but his haunting past leaves him in distress! Same was the case in Aaina, wherein Jackie is deeply in love with Juhi and has forgotten Amrita but when she makes a comeback in his life, misunderstandings start doing the rounds! What do we call this, a sheer co-incidence? Moulli becomes a netizen Bong beauty Moulli Ganguly, who currently features in Star One's Resham Dankh had purchased a ritzy lap top more than three months back. But operating the gizmo and surfing the internet just wasn't her cup of tea or coffee then! Nevertheless, the talented lady made up her mind and has learnt the ropes finally. She can now easily shoot emails and browse the net. What's interesting is that her 'good friend' Mazher Syedd (Samar of Saath Phere fame) too is not into computers and the works, as he has no time for it. But he wants to be a pro at it soon. Hmmm…now that Moulli has got a hang of this new technology, she can definitely coach her tagged 'friend' Mazhar a lesson or two on becoming net savy! What's in a name? Hiten Paintal, who ventured in acting with a 70 mm flick, Tere Liye, has been in news recently for replacing Manish Goel in Balaji's Kasautii Zindagi Kay. But what very few know that this petite and light-eyed actor is the son of Bollywood funster Paintal. But since he shares his surname with Gufi Paintal (remember, he played Shakuni in Mahabharat?), people do tend to mistake Hiten as his son! During an intermission of a play, we spotted Hiten with his girlfriend Kishwer Merchantt, and he was overheard lamenting, "Gufi Paintal is my uncle and his son is also gearing up to be an actor. It will get all the more confusing, so I want to clear it once for all!" Hmm…quite a problem! Imagine people approaching Gufi Paintal and praising him for his son's TV act, even though his real son has still to mark his debut! Rajesh's Hollywood connections! What is common between Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp and Parbatlal of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin? Actor Rajesh Khattar's voice! Yes, this film-TV-theatre actor has lent his vocal chords for the Hindi versions of Hollywod blockbusters, Da Vinci Code and Pirates of the Carribean. Few know that Rajesh's voice is the chosen one when it comes to dubbing English movies to our national language. So don't be surprised when you spot Rajesh's name roll in the credits of the upcoming Hollywood flicks translated in Hindi! Rahil's courteous greet This is what 'getting into the skin of the character' truly means. It seems that Rahil Azam's screen persona has rubbed into his real life too! In Star One's Resham Dankh he plays Aditya Balraj, an absolute gentleman, who treats everyone with respect and loves his family. And this courteous nature of his is not just restricted to his reel life. This is evident if one were to call up this guy. His answering machine greets you with Rahil's deep voice apologizing for not being to able to answer the phone as he is tied up with some work. And the funniest aspect is that the entire message is taped in chaste Hindi, filmy ishtyle! Here is the entire voice mail for you: Eh kash, is waqt hum apse behas kar pate, Lekin afsoos hum is waqt ek zaroori kaam main ulje hue hain Isliye krupya aap apne shubh naam aur number apni pyaari awaz ke zariye chod dijiyega Hum aapse vaada karte hain, ke hum aapse turanth hi behas karne ki poori poori koshish karenge. So all folks out there think out of the box when it comes to your voice mails. You'd never know we would chance up on it and feature it here!
